Du Jinshan, whose name was called, jumped up and stood up.
He clutched his aching chest, a wound from the attack. He glanced in Su An's direction, his expression complex. Although she disliked Bai Wei, she still spoke the truth:
"Reporting to the instructor, Bai Wei is right. We fought fiercely on the mountaintop, but we didn't see anyone from Su An's team."
Lei Kuan then looked at another person: "Qiao Lin!"
Qiao Lin had been itching to get started for a long time.
She had always looked down on Su An and Chen Xiaocao for their rural backgrounds, and now that she saw them daring to step on her head, she couldn't wait for Su An to suffer.
Moreover, she had lost face after being eliminated by Li Yue, and now seeing someone who was more successful than her about to fall from grace, she felt a morbid sense of pleasure.
Now that she had the chance to kick someone when they were down, she immediately stood up and echoed:
"Yes, instructor, we can testify. They didn't even reach the top of the mountain. I really can't understand how the two of them deserved to carry the red flag. It's an absolute joke!"
With so many "witnesses," public opinion at the scene almost unanimously sided with Bai Wei.
Those students who were just cheering for Su An's team now shut their mouths and looked at them with complicated expressions.
"I knew it! There was definitely something wrong!"
"So they were hiding. In the end, they somehow got a fake flag to fill in. They were dreaming!"
"What a disgrace! I was just admiring her, ugh!"
Suddenly, Su An's team seemed to become the target of everyone's criticism.
"We didn't!" Chen Xiaocao's face turned pale from the sudden slander and overwhelming accusations. Her eyes reddened with anxiety, and her knuckles turned white from gripping her backpack so tightly.
She wanted to argue back loudly, but her voice seemed so insignificant amidst the cacophony.
"We didn't cheat! This flag is real! These flags are ours..."
"What do you mean?" Bai Wei interrupted Chen Xiaocao.
Seeing that everyone had been persuaded by her, Bai Wei was secretly pleased. She looked at Chen Xiaocao and smiled confidently. "Chen Xiaocao, I advise you to confess now. The instructor might be lenient because you told the truth. If you remain stubborn, the consequences will be severe once the instructor finds out."
Her words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Chen Xiaocao's heart.
Chen Xiaocao was so angry that she trembled all over, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Su Tang for help.
Throughout the entire performance, Su Tang simply watched Bai Wei quietly, her gaze as calm as a bottomless ancient well, undisturbed by the slightest ripple.
Only when she received Chen Xiaocao's pleading look did she slowly step out from the back of the line.
She ignored the arrogant Bai Wei and the whispers around her, and walked straight to Chief Instructor Lei Kuan, her posture as upright as a pine tree.
"Reporting, Instructor." Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear, instantly silencing the surrounding noise.
"I have no objection to the accusations made by Comrade Bai Wei and other comrades that I did not participate in the mountaintop melee."
What? !
The entire room erupted in commotion. Bai Wei's eyes lit up instantly; she thought Su An was about to confess!
